Smacking the ball with no spin is almost mindlessly easy with these new rubbers. Looping however seems to be much more work compared to Evolution.

You may be right, because he uses Quantum only on his b/h that he usually hits and blocks.
So do you also think that Quantum is good for b/h ?


I will also test it today, by the way.

I think whether Quantum is good for the backhand depends entirely on your style of play. For a fast attack, counter hitting and blocking game I believe it could be excellent. For loopers I believe there are several better options.

I played Quantum yesteday. I had 3 Infinity blades (86gr, 87gr, 89gr) with T05, T05fx, Evo FX-P and Quantum S.
Quantum S is very different than the other soft rubbers (T05fx, FX-P) .
Against underspin was the best, but after my oponents block I had to put extra effort to pass the net. The rubber was NOT elastic at all. The ball stays on the rubber longer. This is good and bad.
On service return was great. On pushes , flat hits , blocks was very good.
Generally speaking, I didn't like Quantum S as f/h rubber.
On the other hand ,on bh, was very good on looping against underspin, very good on blocks , flat hits etc but you need extra effort on continuous looping. So it's a good enough b/h rubber if you are not a pure looper.

I've seen and touched the Quantum, and it is the same super soft topsheet approach. Not tried it as I was put off by the P1 feel.
